Anthropic is making a play for the classroom. The AI safety company launched Anthropic Academy, a free online learning platform hosting approximately 20 self-paced courses designed to teach people how to actually use its Claude AI models, from beginner basics to API-level technical work.
The platform, accessible at anthropic.skilljar.com, requires no credit card and awards certificates upon course completion.
What’s in the course catalog
The initial launch featured 13 courses, later expanding to around 20. The curriculum spans a wide range of skill levels and use cases, starting with Claude 101 for newcomers and scaling up to technical deep dives on building with the Claude API and Claude Code tools.
Other notable offerings include AI Fluency frameworks, which appear aimed at giving non-technical professionals a working understanding of AI concepts, and courses on Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation, a more developer-focused track.
